'If wins BDO, will be more justified than last 2 by the gramps living off 2 weeks of decent form and past glory' is that not saying he deserves it more than Messi and Benzema in the last two years? It would be more deserved this time. Now you are claiming that's not what you are saying. So...

There's some serious bias there. And saying he deserves it more than Messi did is hilarious. Bellingham could never and will never approach a World Cup performance like Messi's. Players have won it before Messi solely for a great WC. It's the pinnacle of the game. Situational awareness? I...

In fact yeah - successfully defending the World Cup could be an incentive for him. As I said above has only been done twice.

I would only say that back-to-back Worlds Cups is very rare. Only been done twice. Italy 34-38 and Brazil 58-62

Yeah it maybe sounds childish but I have long been a big fan of the Turtles, DC, Marvel, independent comics like Invincible etc.

Snap

And I guess Messi is Splinter then. The wise old sage master ready to let his boys fly free independent of him soon (though in the comics he sends them on a revenge mission against Shredder lol).

They've mastered the art of being aggressive but not TOO aggressive lol.

Yeah that would probably work out better. Paredes has lost his temper at times but he has a quietness and seriousness about him that suits Leo. The biggest leader of the four would be Leo too. Mikey could be De Paul for sure. As you say De Paul seems like a jokester.

Yes. Pacifist and thoughtful and intelligent. Paredes and De Paul...neither of them fit Mikey or Leo. There's too many hotheads in the Argentinean team for this :lol:

Chiellini giving out the trophy does feel like it was trolling them.

I watched it again two or three years ago and I remember him having an influence on the game. I am not bothered about the penalty as I am not someone who thinks someone played well just cos they got a goal. However, it was a few years ago, so I will take your word for it as I would have to...

They need Harry Potter, not Graham.

Rodri surely deserved it more than Haaland in 2023. Either way, even if Haaland did score a lot of goals, I just can't get over the fact that people wanted to give a techniqueless, clumsy oaf like Erling Haaland an award for footballing excellence - over a genius like Lionel Messi. Even if he...

To be fair, he was superb in the final and the clear main man to Henry's second fiddle that night. UNTIL the headbutt.

In all seriousness, a 48 team tournament has never been done before in football, I am pretty sure. How will they handle it logistically? The fixtures are laid out but the practicalities. And will fans grow tired of so many games over such a long span? 72 group games to get rid of a third of the...

Nightmares if everything you say about the USA' security etc is true. And if the Copa is a precursor lol.

As someone who has always liked the TMNT, Alvarez is Raphael there. Raph is the angry turtle and ironically Alvarez is probably by far the calmest of those four, lol.

It looks like he and Foden don't pass to each other. They don't appear to have get on. Just a hunch though.

I hate getting into arguments about Ronaldo. The reason is, I feel the hype and worship around him is so great that it's taken as 'matter of fact' by some that he's a top 5 player of all time. Like social conditioning. To me this overlooks so many legends from the past, as if he should just...
